How do you install a cylinder and piston on a goped 2 cycle engine? And also which way does the piston (arrow) have - Go Ped Know Ped. Install the rings onto the.

A 4-cycle engine requires regular gasoline whereas a 2-cycle engine requires oil to be mixed with the gas. A 4-cycle engine requires regular gas in the gas tank and engine oil in another tank.

Your owners manual will tell you what grade of oil to pour into the oil tank compartment of the weed-eater. A 2-cycle engine requires regular gas plus a certain amount of 2-in-1 oil mixed with it.

The oil that is mixed into the gas container and shaken together to 'mix' the gas and oil before pouring into the gas/oil tank helps to lubricate the moving parts of the engine like the piston movement between the piston and the pistons' wall known as the cylinder wall. Also the oil aids in the creation of a tight seal which causes compression to occur that is responsible for optimum operation of the engine itself.

It also provides lubrication to the piston rings and reduces friction as the piston rings push against the cylinder wall. 4-cycle engine oil can be purchased at any oil store like Canadian Tire/Sears/Napa Auto Parts. Just ask for oil for your weed-eater and let them know that your engine requires 4-cycle engine oil.

I am sure the service clerk will point you in the right direction. I hope this helps!Have a great day! Apr 01, 2017 . The valves for any given cylinder will be closed when that particular cylinder is at TDC and on the 'firing' cycle.

Since 4 cycle engines have four 'cycles' the piston can be at TDC twice. Once for firing and once when the exhaust cycle is completed and the intake cycle is starting.

Cycle 1: Intake valve is open and piston is travelling DOWN. (Intake) Cycle 2: Both valves are closed and the piston is travelling UP (compression) Cycle 3: Fuel has been ignited and the piston is travelling DOWN ( power) Cycle 4: Exhaust valve is open and the piston is travelling UP (exhaust) TDC is Top Dead Center, or the point that the piston is at the top of it's travel.

You will want to install the piston onto the crank before you install the cylinder and head. With the head and cylinder off, the crank rod will be exposed. Put some shop towels around the crank rod before you start to avoid dropping any small parts into your lower end while you replace the piston.

Your new piston kit should come with: (1) piston, (2) circlips,(1) wrist pin and (1 or 2) rings depending on the bike. Also it is suggested that you should replace the wrist pin bearing as well (usually sold seperately). If you have not removed the existing piston you will need to remove one of the circlips from the side of the piston. Do this by using a small screwdriver in the teardrop hole where the wristpin attaches the piston to the crank.

Then push the wristpin through the piston from the side that still has a circlip through the side that it has been removed from. Once the wristpin is out, the piston will pull straight up off the crank and the wristpin bearing will slide out of the crank rod. Before installing your new parts you will want to have some 2-Stroke oil on hand. Lube up the wrist pin bearing with 2-stroke oil and slide it into the crank rod. Install ONE of the circlips into the piston before connecting it to the bike. Do this in a clean area because these things like to jump out when you're trying to put them in. BE SURE IT SEATS FULLY INTO ITS GROOVE.

Once ONE circlip is in, slide the piston over the crank rod WITH THE ARROW ON THE TOP OF THE PISTON FACING THE EXHAUST!! So the wrist pin hole lines up with the wrist pin bearings. Lube the wrist pin and slide it into the piston from the side with out the circlip, through the wrist pin bearing until it seats against the circlip installed on the opposite side. Install the second circlip and MAKE SURE IT SEATS FULLY INTO ITS GROOVE.

Install the rings onto the piston. (Some OEM rings have a flat side and a sloped side be sure to match the piston you have removed) Notice that there are tiny notches in the rings that must line up with nipples in the ring seats. This is the only way the cylinder will slide on properly. Next, put a thin coat of oil on the cylinder walls, remove the shop towels, and put on the cylinder base gasket. Now, with one hand, pinch the rings tight to the ring seats making sure the nipples in the ring seats sit in the notches of the rings. With the other hand, slide the cylinder over the piston. THIS SHOULD SLIDE DOWN EASILY!
